About our Christmas party fish and chips in Mowshurst
It suits teams on shifts, with service timed to each group. For depot Christmas treats and family Christmas get-togethers, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and gravy for your guests.
In a small place like Mowshurst, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for guests to gather round
- Events in Mowshurst and across Kent
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

What else we do in Mowshurst
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Mowshurst, so put the van where there is good light.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Mowshurst
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Mowshurst?
Edenbridge station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
